The XPG Defender uses the same body as the Pro variant, but ships with a metal mesh front and non-ARGB fans. More affordable thus, pricing aligns with what you get in regards to the I/O and 2.5" hard-drive mounting methods. You actually end up with a lot of case for the money, especially as an E-ATX user.

If I’m ever going to change my PC case (currently have an Aerocool Aero 800, a bit tight with my watercooled rig), the white version of this XPG is going to be THE one! I only have basic requirements: white at least on exterior, good airflow, liquid cooling compatibility, low price.
